Abstract
Purpose of Review: The number of diagnoses of celiac disease, especially
silent forms continues to rise world-wide. This review aims to summarize
critically recent research in celiac disease.
Recent Findings: New proteomic approaches with the development of a possible
powerful animal model have potentially furthered the isolation of the epitopes
within gliadin, and other related proteins, that are critical for the
development of celiac disease.
Summary: The number of potential disease-triggering gliadin components
remains large. Small bowel biopsies remain the gold-standard for both diagnosis and
monitoring of treatment.
